Hajj (The Pilgrimage)
This 20th century masterpiece by one of the Muslim world's best known scholars is a wonderful spiritual preparation for those intending to perform the Pilgrimage. It differs from other books about the hajj in that it does not simply describe the rituals in detail, but rather it deals with the underlying philosophy behind them. It is important for those going for hajj to understand the concepts discussed in this book so it can be a much more meaningful experience. History will judge Shariati's Hajj as one of the most important documents of Islamic renaissance.

Hajj - Manifestation of Unity
The Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam whose importance and centrality becomes apparent upon even a little deliberation. For instance a part of the first verse quoted above read, "And it is the duty of mankind toward God to make pilgrimage to the House". by: Shuja Ali Mirza
Hajj and its Meaning
Hajj - the central pillar of the Ummah's unity and Islam's strength - is obligatory for all Muslims who are able to afford it. Hajj is a hope for salvation in this global society of corruption and moral pollution. We know that the world in which we live in man's spiritual assets are being plundered.

The Ka'ba: What Is It Really?
The Ka'ba is called Bait Allah, or "the House of God". But we know God needs no house and is not confined to any space. It is also called the first house of mankind.

But before he built it, when he moved Lady Hajra and Prophet Ismail (peace be upon them) to the empty desert, he said, "O Our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Thy Sacred House..." (14:37)
